The Final Sin

Ancient black and silent fire

Within your heart creates desire

To covet far beyond your need

The embers of eternal greed

Destroy the Earth and cloud the sky

Fill your chests with other's lives

A Midas curse, a deadly shroud

"And all for what?" I ask you now

Armies fill the towers of greed

The ultimate drones of deceit

Selling your own hopes and your dreams

For nothing is nothing, it seems

God send the crimson wind

You'll die with nothing in the end

There is only pain within

There is only pain for sin

Still trapped inside the hourglass

Toil and break our backs 'till death

Chained to our dying breath

Behind the mask of loneliness

Forever burning golden pyre

Weeping the tears of the crimson flame

For ashes that shall bear your name

So I ask you once again

Why must you forever exchange

The peace that gold can never buy

For the vanity that it may?

God send the crimson wind

You'll die with nothing in the end

There is only pain within

There is only pain for sin
